Background
The structure of natural product compounds is commonly used as a precursor to the development of potential new drugs by modifying their structure.For example, as an antioxidant compound which is an important substance for the body to prevent disease due to oxidative damage in the body that can cause chronic disease.In addition, diabetes mellitus is also a chronic, life-threatening disorder.This disease causes carbohydrate and lipid metabolism not to be regulated properly by the hormone insulin, increasing blood glucose levels [1] .Heterocyclic compounds are reported to have good antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, and anticancer activity [2] .According to a study conducted by Singh, compounds with heterocyclic rings also have potential as anti-diabetic substances [3] .
In general, Dryobalanops aromatica oil extracts contain borneol content up to 26.02 %, in the form of oil and 92.70 % in the form of crystals [4] .So this plant is suitable for producing borneol.Borneol can be oxidized to camphor so that the ketone group in camphor can be used to add a thiazole heterocyclic ring to the structure to increase its bioactivity.Thiazole (C 3 H 7 NS) is a five-ring heterocyclic compound that has an important role in the pharmaceutical field [5] .Thiazole compounds were obtained through the reaction of thiazole Hantzsch formation, namely the reaction between thiourea and alpha halocarbonyl to produce thiazoles with good yields [6] .Thiazoles can be combined with the camphor structure through the formation of an imine group reaction.So based on the explanation that has been described, it is necessary to synthesize camphor thiazole derivatives and through this research, the synthesis of camphor thiazole derivatives from D. aromatica can be carried out and used as antioxidants and antidiabetics.

Camphor thiazole synthesize method
Camphor (1 mmol), ethyl-2 -chloro acetoacetate (1 mmol), and thiosemicarbazide (1 mmol) were dissolved in 10 mL ethanol.A sodium acetate catalyst (0.02 mmol) was added as a catalyze.Reflux for 10 h at 78 °C in constant stirring then cooled at room temperature.Leave it overnight.Pour the mixture into iced aquadest on a beaker glass, and mix it until a precipitate formed then separated through a filtration process.Recrystallize with ethanol to purify the desired product (camphor thiazole, product 1 ).To add variety to the structure, camphor thiazole (1 mmol) and hydrazine ( or Phenylhydrazine, 1 mmol) were dissolved in 10 mL ethanol.Reflux for 4 h at 70 °C in constant stirring.After the reaction, the mixture was evaporated with dry air flow.Then recrystallize the precipitate with ethanol to purify the desired product (camphor thiazole hydrazine, or product 2, and camphor thiazole hydrazine , or product 3 ) .

Antioxidant activity assay
The antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) as a free radical.A total sample solution with various concentrations at a volume of 2.0 mL was added with 2 mL of the DPPH solution (4 mg in 100 mL of ethanol).Left it in a dark room for 30 min at room temperature.UV-vis spectrophotometer was used to read the adsorption wavelength at 517 nm.

Antidiabetic activity assay
The mixture consisted of 50 μL 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution, 25 μL 0.5 mM 4-nitrophenyl d -glucopyranoside (dissolved in phosphate buffer solution), 10 μL of test sample solution, and 25 μL of -glucosidase solution (1 mg/mL stock solution in phosphate buffer).This reaction occurs at pH 7.0.Incubate at 37 °C for 30 min.Then reaction stopped by adding 100 μL of 0.2 M sodium carbonate solution.Enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate was monitored by the amount of p -nitrophenol released in the reaction mixture at 410 nm using a microplate reader.

Analytical calculation
The percentage of inhibition was measured to know inhibition activity in various concentrations.The percentage of inhibition value for every concentration of the sample in antioxidant and antidiabetic assay were calculated with the following equation: % Inhibition = ((Abs blanko -Abs sample )/Abs blanko ) x 100 % IC 50 was calculated to know the concentration that has 50 % inhibition activity.

Synthesize of camphor thiazole

The reaction process for the synthesis of product 1 ( Scheme 1 ) took place with a change in the color of the mixture from clear yellowish to red.Tests using TLC were carried out to ensure that the compound had been formed.The eluent used in the TLC test for this compound was ethyl acetate (EA): n-hexane (Hex) with a ratio of 4:1.The Rf values of product 1 compared with the Rf values of thiosemicarbazide were 0.78 and 0.38, respectively.The difference in Rf between the precursor and the product indicates that the compound product 1 has been formed.In this experiment, the percentage yield obtained was 73.24 % of the expected result.Based on the melting point test, it is known that the compound formed has a melting point at 210-214 °C.Product 1 was detected in chromatogram at retention time of 13.43 min.In the mass spectrum (TOF MS ES + ) the detected value of [M + H] + is 336.1751u.This is in accordance with theoretical calculations, where the theoritical value of [M + H] + of this compound is 322.1745.
The result of product 2 formation reaction ( Scheme 2 ) can be observed by a change in the color of the mixture to a slightly brownish fading.The reaction results were obtained in the form of a pale yellowish orange solid.The TLC test was carried out using  The results of the reaction for the formation of product 3 ( Scheme 3 ) can be observed when the color of the mixture becomes dark red.The TLC test was carried out using EA: Hex eluent with a ratio of 1:1.The Rf values of product 3 compared to the precursors of product 1 were 0.88 and 0.80, respectively.The difference in Rf between the precursor and the product indicates that the compound product 3 has been formed.Based on this experiment, the reaction product was obtained in the form of a solid with a 72.91 % yield.This compound has a melting point of 236-240 °C.Product 3 was detected by the chromatogram at retention time of 11.98 min.In the mass spectrum (TOF MS ES + ) it is known that the detected value of [M + H] + is 400.2115u.This is in accordance with theoretical calculations, where the theoritical value of [M + H] + of this compound is 400.2171.
Complete data of the physiochemistry of the compounds that were successfully synthesized shown in Table 1 .
The product that has been successfully formed was characterized using the Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) Spectrometer instrument to identify the functional groups contained in the structure of the compound.The IR spectrum can be seen in Fig. 2 and the detected wave numbers are summarized in Table 2 .

Anti-oxidant activity
In this study, antioxidant activity was tested to observe the effect of the tested samples on the free radical compound DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl).The results of the antioxidant activity test of the tested samples can be seen in Table 3 .
Based on the antioxidant activity testing that has been carried out on each sample, it can be seen that the modification of camphor with thiazole hydrazine/phenylhydrazine has good antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals and has the potential to be used as an antioxidant compound, although the IC 50 value of each of these compounds has not been able to compete with the IC 50 value of Vitamin C compound which has an IC 50 value of 4.72 ppm.

Anti-diabetic activity
Antidiabetic activity of the compounds that have been successfully synthesized was carried out in vitro against the -glucosidase enzyme.The results of the measurement of the inhibitory activity of the sample substance against the -glucosidase enzyme can be seen in Table 4 .
Based on the experiments that have been carried out, it can be seen that the higher the concentration value of the added sample will increase the inhibitory activity.Based on calculations, the IC 50 value of camphor thiazole is 859.06 ppm which is higher than camphor thiazole hydrazine and camphor thiazole phenylhydrazine which have IC 50 values of 1893.40 ppm and > 2000 ppm, respectively.This shows that the addition of a hydrazine/phenylhydrazine group that replaces the ester group on the camphor thiazole compound does not increase its activity ability to inhibit the glucosidase enzyme.Camphor with a thiazole ring has the potential to be used as an antidiabetic compound in inhibiting the activity of the -glucosidase enzyme, although the IC 50 value of each compound can still be said to be weaker than the IC 50 value of the Acarbose compound which has an IC 50 value of 0.33 ppm.
